My First Watercolor - Sunflower

My favorite flowers are sunflowers so it makes sense it would be the first thing I'd paint. I'm no van Gogh, but I don't think it turned out too bad. I sketched the flower then went back over it with a Pigma Micron .05 in black, adding texture with shading effects. I'm still getting the hang of layering transparent washes of color, but love the unexpected effects.
